*******BREAKING MCCLATCHY MARIST NATIONAL POLL******* CLINTON 48 LA DEPLORABLE 41

WASHINGTON
Hillary Clinton heads into the first presidential debate with a 7-point lead over Donald Trump, but doubts among voters about about her trustworthiness and stamina are keeping Trump in the race, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

“You wouldn’t bet for Clinton,” said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the nationwide survey. “But you certainly wouldn’t bet against her at this time.”

The first presidential debate is Monday at Hofstra University in New York and “clearly the stakes couldn’t be any higher for both of them,” Miringoff said.

She leads in a two-way matchup with Trump by 48-41. She leads in a 4-way contest 45-39, with Libertarian Gary Johnson drawing 10 percent support and Green candidate Jill Stein getting 4 percent.

Keep working!!! Keep donating!!! Volunteer!!!

As someone who donates to her campaign regularly, I know that I donate more when it is closer. The ground game is all about the campaign raising money and rallying people, it's already paying off in early NC voting.

Do not let Donald off the hook.

We knew Hillary would be hurt by deplorables and the pneumonia spell. But Trump gave the momentum right back with, well, being Trump.

Now Sec. Clinton and us supporters have to keep this going. I get the feeling the on the fence voters really do not want to vote for Trump so he is at his ceiling. But we must GOTV and seal the deal.

word with the sole purpose of stoking the bias against Hillary. The resulting damage to Hillary's polling is largely based on the perception created by MSM.

By doing so, MSM's irresponsibility has put this nation in danger of a being run by a maniac.
